When a strange man insists he is Natalia’s true father, she is oddly sympathetic, “we all know about el proceso.” But do we?

During this era, untold numbers of infants of suspected “subversives” were kidnapped, often taken by police or military members to raise as their own.

In the previous segment we found Milagros and Gloria shaking it to un ritmo vallenato from Colombia’s Caribbean coast. Upon her return to the convent, Milagros is singing Ricky Maravilla’s "¿Que tendrá el petiso?" which probably got its inspiration from "Locas por el mambo", a huge 1950 Havana hit from the great Benny Moré.

Though Natalia Oreiro may seem to have it all—talent, beauty, brains, personality and success—she wasn’t born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
